What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I decided to take the pension plunge into one of my workplace pensions, having not worked since Covid-19 and finances were running thin. Wirral Financial Services were local and I wanted the face to face personal touch.

How has William Smith helped you?

Will arranged the move of funds from Legal & General to Royal London and I was very soon breathing a sigh of relief that i had money coming in. Will was able to classify my approach to investment options quite quickly and set me up with a plan that is starting to make some headway.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I haven't seen the outcome yet, as it is early days but Will has been able to do what was needed for me to be very happy with my choice so far.

What could they have done better?

I have only been a client of WFS for a short time but I haven't found anything that Will has done to be anything short of professional, friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Being 62 years of age and coming up to retirement age i needed advise on what to do with a couple of pensions that have paid into for a number of years. I have a job currently and needed general advise as to how to maximise all of my allowances etc regarding taking pensions on a long term basis

How has William Smith helped you?

William has been instrumental in how i best approach the coming years. He thoroughly explained how i proceed from the point of view maximising my pension pots. He has painstakingly advised me at every stage in the best avenues for me. He closed both pensions off enabling a one unified pot explained concisely how he believed in my circumstance that taking tax free lump sum was not the best course of action in my circumstances.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely perfect all that he advised he has followed through to the letter. The result being that i am confident that in his hands my interest both current and future will be handled with great professionalism and integrity and with my best interests at heart.

Evaluated all the pensions and after discussing our attitude to risk has arranged new schemes matching our requirements.

Outcome for advice - yes. To early to tell for final pension provision but the initial increase in fund value is encouraging.

What could they have done better?

Nothing. The process did take several months which was due to the slow responses from the existing pension schemes (which we expected).

Approaching retirement age I was unsure if I could afford to stop working as I has several pensions from different employers plus a private pension. I also needed advice on inheritance planning and making a will.

How has William Smith helped you?

Will took my mess of accumulated pensions paperwork that I'd haphazardly stored over a number of years and made sense of what funds I had and where and then gave me a couple of suggestions based on an assessment of my attitude towards risk. The various options were very clearly explained and made understandable. Will also gave my wife and I excellent advice on inheritance planning that enabled us to make excellent plans for our family. Finally Will aided us in drawing up wills.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely. I had thought that I would have to remain in employment way beyond 65 however I have been able to retire with a living income. Our family is taken care of when we eventually pass, all thanks to Wills' excellent advice.

What could they have done better?

Very difficult to suggest any improvement. Financial mumbo jumbo goes right over my head and Will explained everything clearly and in terms that I could understand at every stage.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I was about to give up work. The pension provided by my employer was okay, however I felt it could possibly do better elsewhere. With Pensions being a minefield (very difficult to negotiate) and knowing very little about them I felt it was worth getting professional advice.

How has William Smith helped you?

Will (William) listened to our needs. Then armed with various bits of paper and information, he went away and formulated a plan.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Will, has produced a package for us of which we are happy, very happy with. It has given us what we were looking for and more. We wanted flexibility with the way in which we access our funds and that is what we have.

What could they have done better?

When ever I read reviews, I have a tendency to read between the lines. Well with Will, from the start I felt like, this is someone who I can deal with. There is nothing I can think of, that he could have done better. He listened, advised, surgested, and took action. During the process I found him to be accessible, kept us up to date with proceedings.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I hope so, from what William told me recently, though the payments haven't started yet.

What could they have done better?

As there was a delay in Standard Life paying over my pension to the annuity provider, the finalising of the arrangements was very protracted. After phoning William, he then looked into the matter, but it would have been good if he had checked that things were going through beforehand, as this might have prevented or shortened the delay.

I have no idea regarding pensions and wanted advice on what I had and what I needed to do, if anything regarding my financial security in retirement, which is looming up with frightening speed. I'd been putting off doing anything "until I had the time" and realised that I needed to act before it might be tool ate.

How has William Smith helped you?

Will took years of paperwork and letters from various companies that I'd accrued over 30 years and made total sense out of the carnage of my "filing system". He showed me exactly what I had, where I was losing out and how I could make changes in my investments that would yield better returns, he has also kept me abreast of market developments and performance of my funds and made excellent recommendations to move into other funds. He has also helped me with fantastic advice in setting up our wills and reducing the risk of losing our home in the event of either of us needing to go into care in our old age.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Completely happy with the outcome, now have peace of mind that we will have sufficient funds to enable us to enjoy retirement and that our kids will receive the maximum inhertance when we do finally slip off.

Will gave me excellent advice unfortunately I did not take it but put the money in a fixed term account. This I can't get out of for 5 years but he was really helpful and understood my circumstances

What could they have done better?

How has William Smith helped you?

I've never been very good about talking about my financiers, or even understanding a lot of it. But after meeting Will Smith, he put my mind at ease, He explained in detail, what I needed to know. He advised me on what choices I had.

What could they have done better?

I really don't think my adviser needs do do any, apart from not changing.
